The well-funded ISIL has been hiding whole weapons caches underground, which included explosive devices for carrying out terrorist attacks.

Saudi Arabia Losing All Cards in Syria

TEHRAN (FNA)- A prominent analyst underlined that the Syrian army has become reinvigorated by Iran and Russia’s military assistance, adding that Saudi Arabia is losing all its winning cards in the Arab country.

“The Syrian army’s major advances in several fronts show that it has taken the initiative today,” Turky Hassan told FNA on Monday.

He underscored the importance of friendly countries’ aid, including Russia’s airstrikes and Iran’s advisory assistance, and said Saudi Arabia’s attempts to stop Russia’s military operations and its contacts with Turkey and Israel to strengthen the terrorists in Syria indicate that few winning cards have been left for Riyadh in Syria.

“Syria’s return to its natural situation through winning over the Zionist-Arab coalition’s hirelings will put the al-Saud exposed to political and military quakes which will lead to the collapse of the Saudi regime and vital developments in the Persian Gulf Arab sheikhdoms,” Hassan said.

The Syrian government’s forces launched a massive offensive after Russia’s Sukhoi Su-25, Su-24M and Su-34 attack aircraft, with the support of Su-30 jets, had commenced precision airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria on September 30, following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad.
